Arsenal receive shock offer from fellow Premier League side

Here at the Tavern we just heard the latest rumours surrounding Southampton from one of our resident Saints fans- and it’s raised a few eyebrows.

The Sun state Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been offered a way out of Arsenal, with former employers Southampton making an approach to land the winger on-loan.

The England star has been struggling to claim a starting place in Arsene Wenger’s side, whilst his performances when he does get a chance have been largely underwhelming.

Southampton’s offer of first-team football to Oxlade-Chamberlain ahead of the European Championships this summer may be appealing to the young player but it’s unlikely Arsenal will approve such a move.
